Over 30 years of retirement, Morgan would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Morgan received $45,496 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Morgan will have already received $92,357 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
